This is a collection of four short stories."Flame of God": Oriel is the Holy Fire of the Most High, sent to earth in the final days to fight with the other angelic agents. When the plans of the saints go horribly awry and a love from his past comes back to haunt him, will he be able to finish his mission? And who is the woman that looks so much like the one he used to know? (This is a companion story to The Angel & Her Gun as well as The Demon & His Lover)

"The Universe in a Keyhole": Melisande has an amazing bedroom door, where the keyhole looks out on the universe and the door itself opens to strange new worlds. But when a crack in the wall starts to drain the magic from her room, she has to hurry and fix it.

"What the Sea Took Away": Connor and Maddy live in a small fishing village and love each other too much. At least, that's what the villagers think. When the tempestuous sea puts their love to the test, will they stand firm against the tides?

"Siren Song": Anna is vampyre, which is not the cool, powerful state of being traditional folklore seems to think it is. Instead she is a weak creature, wandering the filthy streets in search of food. Her only power is the ability to sing her prey to her, like a siren. When Michael hears her voice, he is obsessed with getting her on stage to sing. Will she find the strength for one last performance?
